Some Go Green Tips Post your recycling calendar on your refrigerator, or some other place • for easy reference.
Use reusable shopping bags! As soon as you get the groceries put •
away, take your reusable shopping bags directly back out to your car.
Composting is a great way to reduce waste and the resulting • compost will enrich soil for your gardens and flower beds. Visit www.mmsb.nl.ca for more info.
Where Conception Bay South programs are not available, taking waste • to Robin Hood Bay is a vital part of keeping Conception Bay South clean and green.
•
Reducing our waste is important. Reduce, reuse and recycle!
